"Is that true?"

"If you don't believe me, you can take a look for yourself, haven't I already high-speed you?"

Marisa and Alice turned their heads to look at each other, looking at each other, but they heard the Inbata Emperor continue:

"I advise you two again, don't underestimate that guy!"

"Not everyone is born strong, in fact, most of the youkai in Gensokyo are weak for life, but this does not mean that when facing the strong, they will sit back and beg for mercy. When you can't rely on absolute strength to clear the obstacles ahead, you will think of other ways. You can take a detour, you can hitchhike on someone's back, you can invent a pair of rocket boots to fly over there, whatever it takes, as long as it helps you move forward, that's a good way. ”

"So the strong have the Yangguan Road of the strong, and the weak have the weak single-plank bridge, when you sweep the world all the way, we are also struggling to survive in the shadows. She's the best of us lowly and weak, doesn't that sound a bit of a contradiction? ”

"No matter what she did before, now, she has done things that many big monsters can't do, or don't dare to do. She has the powerful 'help' provided by the mastermind behind this mutation, the 'ideal' that turns the entire Gensokyo upside down, and the 'dark consciousness' that will do whatever it takes to achieve this, plus some 'hole cards' that she has never shown. She has gained everything except the strength she must have to be a 'strong man'. ”

"If it's a game, then she's 'one close to a straight flush' and you're a bunch of 'JQK' that has been torn apart. She's at the point where she's in the air, and you're still slamming around with your eyes closed. If I were you, I would be very, very careful, like I'm making enemies of super monsters like Kazami Yuka or Yakumo Murasaki. I'm not saying that you're going to lose, I mean, you can't win an easy victory like you would against an ordinary, weak Heavenly Demon. ”

"Well......"

Speaking of this, the emperor seemed to be very indifferent, hugged his arms, and pouted.

"I've said everything, and I don't owe you anything. If you lose next, it's certainly not my responsibility. Come on, girls!"

With that, she turned around and walked away without looking back.

Marisa and Alice, you look at me, I look at you, their eyes wide open, but they didn't have anything to say, so they looked up at the building that stood out from the crowd in the distance—it was the landmark of the people, Casi-Joon. Its golden tempered glass exterior reflected the blood-red moonlight, and beneath the murky night sky, above the silent village, it looked eerie and evil, as if it were the Demon King's City where the boss of the old RPG was located.

For a long time, I heard Marisa mutter:

"Anyway, that piece seems to be in charge of Huiyin......"

So the two looked away from the building again, and there was a moment of silence between them.

"I have a bad premonition......"

"Sympathetic ......"

"Ding Dong!"

"The top floor, it's here. ”

The elevator door slowly opened, and Kamibai Zehuiyin walked out of the pure white light. When the iron door behind her closed, the last rays of light were removed, and her vision was filled with darkness again.

The electricity supply to the people was cut off, but luckily, the elevator in the casino had emergency power so she didn't have to climb the stairs to the 55th floor, although it wasn't a difficult task for her.

The glass walls of this building are one-way translucent, so that the light from the outside can shine in, but the light from the inside cannot be seen. The moonlight is dim, and red is not an eye-catching color, but, anyway, thanks to that bit of moonlight, Huiyin finally doesn't search in the dark.

She quickly completed the search for the top and last floor of her trip, and the results were just as she had expected.

That's nothing.

In fact, when she found about 20 floors, she already understood that the villagers were not hidden here, after all, the remaining 30 floors of space simply could not accommodate so many people, and they could not be stuffed into meatloaf. But if she pushed it a little further, she already had such a premonition the moment she stepped into the building and found that the elevator was still working. Seriously, can you imagine Schwarzenegger or Stallone walking into the enemy's base camp and then taking the elevator straight up to the top floor to surprise the boss, instead of killing it layer by layer?

However, Hui Yin completed the search of the remaining thirty floors as originally planned, and her idea was "what if she can find some useful clues". Unfortunately, reality once again filled her belly with disappointment. Until she had turned over the last table on the last floor, she hadn't found the slightest clue, not even a single piece of useful scrap paper.

"Hey......"

With a soft sigh, Huiyin rubbed her eyes, which were a little tired from overuse in the dim environment, and then walked slowly to the elevator she had taken with her free hands.

"Let's go meet Reimu," she said, standing in front of the elevator door, thinking as she pressed the button, "I hope they can find something useful." ”

"It's hard to come here, why don't you play two and then go, 'Teacher Huiyin'?"

The abrupt voice reached her ears, interrupting her thoughts.

Huiyin turned around sharply, and just then, the elevator door opened. Through the white light that spilled from the elevator, she could see the man's face.

Black hair with a few strands of red, red eyes, and stubby horns - all typical youkai characteristics. This monster girl, dressed in a pure black suit and wearing a skull tie around her neck, is dressed neatly and chicly. She sat at the card table facing the elevator door, her fingers crossed, and her elbows on the table, quite like Mike Corleone in "The Godfather".

In other words, the underworld is a hero, and the cold-faced evil star...... Actually, she's not that "cold", certainly not as cold as El Pacino. She was smiling at Huiyin, even though the smile only sent chills down her back.

Huiyin knows who she is, a few years ago, this guy used to make trouble among people, and was knocked down by Huiyin twice. Her strength is just like other little monsters with low eyes, not worth mentioning. However, at this moment, Huiyin can see at a glance that she is no longer the same she she was a few years ago.

Her "aura" is different, the sheep in wolf's clothing, and the wolf in sheep's clothing, the exposed temperament is completely different.

"Ghost Man...... Good and evil. ”

When the elevator doors closed automatically, Huiyin read her name out in shock.

So the white light faded away, and Huiyin's vision went black again. The eyes of good and evil glowed a faint red in the darkness, and the color of the head was enough to make Huiyin feel uneasy. Good and evil took out a brand new box of playing cards from the inner pocket of his jacket, opened it in front of Hui Yin, and then shuffled the cards himself. She wears a pair of black leather gloves on her hands, which makes her look like a professional.

"You guy!"

Huiyin gritted her teeth, stepped forward, slapped her hands heavily on the gambling table, and shouted in the face of righteousness and evil:

"Why are you here?

"Shhhh

Good and evil stopped the shuffling work at hand, raised a slender finger wrapped in a black leather glove, and let out a long shush. She seemed to be unconcerned, whether it was for the missing villagers, or for Huiyin's anxiety and indignation at this time.

"If you're going to play cards," she asked, smiling, "what kind of play do you like?"

"Playing cards?" "Huiyin's face was a little distorted with anger, "What are you playing an international joke on me?"

"Do I look like I'm joking, Kami-Shirasawa Huiyin?"

Good and evil put away her smile and put on a poker face that was more standard than the playing cards in her hand.

"Do you know where you are now?" she continued, "you're in a casino." ”

"You're standing at a table, standing in front of a real gambler. ”

"So you've got to make a bet with me, you don't have a choice. ”

After saying this, she raised her hand and pointed to the stool next to Huiyin's lap, and said:

"Sit!"
